Loop Hero

Who knew watching a little 8-bit-lookin’ sprite walk around in a circle could be such a thrill? There are a bunch of ways to describe Loop Hero because it borrows from a bunch of different genres, but in isolation none of those descriptors do it justice. It’s a turn-based RPG where you manage risk and reward, a roguelite where random chance breeds long-term success, and a deck-builder that lets you continually create new worlds—and then smash them into bits. It’s also much more than any of those things: a dread-filled, magic-fueled Rube Goldberg machine where strategic nudges and new discoveries unlock the potential to not just save the world but craft a better one.
